Nice video from First Great Western!In their own words...Castle Cary is normally one of the quality (sic) stations on the First Great
Western network, seeing around 1000 passengers pass through it each day.But,
during Glastonbury Festival week, the station turns into the central
hub for revelers traveling to the festival - with passenger numbers
increasing by five or six times that number. This video shows the transformation on day one of the festival this year. Over
the course of the festival First Great Western will be providing more
than 50 extra trains and 13,000 extra seats to help get customers to
Glastonbury, avoiding thousands of additional car journeys to the site.Good effort - shows the railway doing what it does best; moving large numbers of people, safely.
